For many months of 2021-22 acclaimed musician Lil Yachty poured himself into a full band experience in the studio day and night with stints ranging from El Paso to Brooklyn.
The hip-hop community took notice of his no-frills, breakbeat-heavy hip-hop style as he helped craft albums for Common, Q Tip, and the debut for his own group Slum Village.
50 cents debut promises to set the pace for hip-hop in coming years. The product of his un-relenting drive, talents, and realness, 50's official first album promises to do for him just what it says. Second single "In Da Club" produced by Dr. Dre.
Kanye West's debut album College Dropout reshaped 2000s hip-hop with warm soul samples, sharp guest turns and singles like "Jesus Walks"; the original 21-track Roc-A-Fella CD in its standard single-disc edition.
A compact collection of early Boogie Down Productions cuts and rarities; core Criminal Minded tracks, early singles like Advance, and a Red Alert megamix. Raw Bronx hip-hop, stripped and urgent.
Lil Yachty’s Lil Boat 3 gathers 19 tracks of glossy Auto-Tuned hooks and clipped trap beats, with guests Drake, DaBaby, Tyler, the Creator and A$AP Rocky puncturing the mix; 'Oprah's Bank' stands out.
